Alone time. What’s that? If you’re a mom, you’re quite possible in the same boat as me. Some days, okay, most days, I feel like my needs come last in the whole scheme of things. From the second our eyes open in the morning, it’s all about the kids. Getting everyone changed and fed, answering 800… [Read More]
Eco-friendly Easter Baskets for Children
At Easter time, stores are filled with candy, chocolate bunnies in every size, and plastic eggs galore. It’s a recipe for sugar-overload, and I don’t even want to think about where all those cheap plastic eggs will wind up. The environmentalist and mom in me secretly cringes at these aisles every time a holiday rolls around. I’m not… [Read More]
Eco-Friendly Canadian Companies Part II
Happy Summer, friends! It’s my favourite time of the year. With Canada Day celebrations just behind us, it’s gotten me thinking about some of my favourite eco-friendly Canadian companies. We really do try to support Canadian and local as much as possible. It’s important to me, and I know it’s important to many of you as… [Read More]

Painted Heart Tea Light Holders
I am in love with these sweet painted heart tea light holders we made. This was a fun collaborative effort with K and I, and not only did it give us a fun little mommy and son time together, but we now have a gorgeous new tea light holder that also functions as beautiful Valentine’s… [Read More]
Kid-Friendly Vegetarian Chilli
Cooler temperatures over here mean a change in meals for us, focusing more on heartier soups and chillis, as well as casseroles and dishes use items that are in season now, like root vegetables. Nothing beats a good chilli on a cool Autumn or Winter night. Since having kids though, we’ve had to tone it down about 5 notches… [Read More]
DIY Advent Calendars
With Canadian Thanksgiving and Halloween behind us, Christmas seems to be in full swing over here. I’m a big fan of advent calendars – who isn’t? – and we try to do something fun and different each year. Whether it’s tiny bags with fun trinkets or cards with daily fun activities to do, we all love opening… [Read More]
Natural and Eco-friendly School Supplies
We’re still enjoying and loving summer time and the hot weather we’ve been experiencing, so it seems hard to believe we even need to start thinking about back to school supplies. It’s coming up more quickly than I can believe, though. In just three weeks, my first-born will be starting grade 1. I have mixed feelings… [Read More]
Delicious Vegan Milkshakes
I have a bit of a milkshake obsession. I’ll be the first to admit it. This past pregnancy, the obsession intensified massively. My poor hubby. There was a period where, at least weekly, he would be sent out on a late night mission to our closest ice cream store to get me a double dark… [Read More]
The Best Travel Gear for Toddlers
As of today, we are officially on summer break over here. Or, the kids are at least. “Schooooool’s out fooooor…the summer!” Don’t mind me, I’m just re-living some old-school movies. Does that give away my age? Oops! While we don’t have any huge plans for the summer (newborn plus two other kids and all), we… [Read More]
